Is it safe to cross? Identification of trains and their approach speed at level crossings by Gregoire S. Larue, Ashleigh Filtness, Joanne Wood, Sebastien Demmel, Christopher N. Watling, Anjum Naweed, Andry Rakotonirainy

“…They were asked to report when they first detected an approaching train, when they could first perceive it as moving, as well as providing speed estimates and a decision regarding when it would not be safe to cross. Participants detected the trains ∼2 km away and were able to perceive the trains as moving when they were 1.6 km away. …”

Visual performance at passive level crossings with long sighting distances by Gregoire S. Larue, Ashleigh Filtness, Joanne Wood, Sebastien Demmel, Anjum Naweed, Andry Rakotonirainy

“…A site was selected in Victoria, and 36 participants with good visual acuity observed 4 trains in the 100-140 km/h range. While most participants could detect the train from a very long distance (2.2 km on average), they could only detect that the train was moving at much shorter distances (1.3 km on average). …”
